Chris Ofili's major tapestry with Dovecot Studios returns to Scotland this summer. The Caged Bird's Song, commissioned by The Clothworkers' Company, is shown in the context of the tapestry studio where the work was created.
It took Dovecot's master weavers over three years to transform Ofili's watercolour design into a large format tapestry. The exhibition forms part of the Edinburgh Festival 2024.
Now open until 5 October.
